Tottenham are continuing to keep tabs on Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher ahead of a potential summer move, sources have told Football Insider.

Spurs were keen to sign the 24-year-old in January and held talks with their London rivals over a move.

It is understood that Tottenham retain a ‘concrete interest’ in Gallagher and intend to try again in the summer as they are aware that Chelsea need to raise funds to comply with Premier League financial rules.

As revealed by Football Insider, Chelsea must take emergency action in the summer window to avoid a points deduction catastrophe.

Gallagher’s contract at Stamford Bridge is set to expire in 2025 leaving the England international in a very strong negotiating position going into the summer.

Tottenham will continue pursuit of Chelsea star Gallagher

His contract situation at Chelsea shares close comparisons to Mason Mount last year before he completed his £55million move to Manchester United.

Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino views Gallagher as an integral part of his squad and a natural leader having captained the side on multiple occasions this season.

Gallagher is likely to start for Chelsea in their mouthwatering Carabao Cup final clash against Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.

It was very different’ – Hugo Lloris on working under Antonio Conte at Spurs

Hugo Lloris has spoken about the impact that Ange Postecoglou has had since taking over Tottenham from Antonio Conte, admitting that the Australian has brought back the feelgood factor at Hotspur Way.

Although some of Spurs’ recent displays have perhaps taken the sheen of the season, it is fair to say that Postecoglou has had a transformational effect on the mood of Tottenham supporters.

The club were reeling when he walked through the door last summer, with Daniel Levy and co coming under a lot of flak after yet another managerial appointment blew up in their faces.

However, Postecoglou has managed to get the supporters back onside, partly owing to the attacking football that he has delivered, which is something Tottenham fans had been devoid of for the last few years.

Lloris admitted that the club had made some missteps and had to current course last summer, which he feels they successfully have.

When asked about Postecoglou’s impact, the former Tottenham captain told The Athletic: “With the change of managers (after Mauricio Pochettino left in 2019), the club also changed the way of playing football.

“The fans were not happy with the way we used to play, but by bringing in Ange, we can see there is a real positive impact. Not only because of the results but also because the fans are enjoying the way the team plays — it’s what the fans demand. It’s an attractive football with risk, aggression and dominant possession.
